Engineers often use nature to inspire new materials and designs. A discovery by a multi-institutional team of researchers and engineers about how tendon and bone attach in the shoulder joint has ...

Biohybrid robots that run on real muscle are shifting from science fiction toward workable machines. In labs around the world ...

Researchers created tough hydrogel artificial tendons, attached them to lab-grown muscle to form a muscle-tendon unit, then ...

Scientists at the University of Portsmouth have created the first detailed 3D map of how a crucial piece of connective tissue in our bodies responds to the stresses of movement and exercise. This ...

Scientists have discovered how tendons – the fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone – become damaged through injury or the ageing process in what could lead to new treatments for people with ...

Generally, tendon injuries are caused due to trauma or gradual wear and tear from overuse or aging. Structurally, tendons—as well as their associated extracellular matrices—are comprised of ...

In all vertebrates, including humans, bones, muscles and tendons work together to give the skeleton its characteristic balance of stability and movement. Now, new research uncovers a previously ...

Rather than try the rest-and-rehab route after being shut down for the season with what was initially called a “strained forearm,” Padres first baseman Yonder Alonso has opted for surgery to ...

Scientists have been working for years to create robots powered by living muscle tissue. These biohybrid robots combine ...
